Wow, this is old!

I think Webshots was the first image hosting place I'd ever used. I uploaded a lot of old photos there a long time ago, and most of those are still sitting there (collecting dust). Here's a photo I remember taking. It was a grey and cold winter day and I was driving by an orchard and spotted this apple tree with some frozen apples on it. I really liked the contrast, so I stopped and took some photos.

I traveled to Whistler BC on the weekend. On the way back I stopped to view some of the sights along the Sea to Sky highway. I shot this photo near Squamish BC.

I was in Vancouver's Stanley Park on the weekend, just walking around with my camera, when this large Dragonfly approached me and hovered for several seconds. It was as if it was observing me as I was observing it. I managed to shoot a few photos before it flew away.

A shot of me taken by my friend Reno just before sunset at English Bay in Vancouver. This is with my 135mm f/2.3 lens.

I assisted my photographer friend Assad in a photo shoot the other day. His model was this lovely young actress, Brianne. She's very photogenic. This is one of the photos I shot of her with my good old Asahi Super-Takumar 50mm f/1.4 lens from the 1960's. I shot this wide open at f/1.4. I can't decide whether I like the mono version or the color version better, so I posted both.
